Rutland was randomly drawn from a pool of hundreds of people who participated in Get Referred. Get Fancy. Attendees earned chances to win their choice of jewelry by visiting Avfuel’s booth and getting referred through its network of co-exhibiting FBOs—a spinoff of Avfuel’s newest program, Avfuel Network Referrals.

“I’ve been a customer of Avfuel’s for about 20 years and their team always provides such quality service,” said Rutland. “I conduct business with many of Avfuel’s co-exhibiting branded FBOs and have bought a lot of jet fuel from them. So when I was visiting the Avfuel booth, I wasn’t there to win a prize, but figured I’d throw my hat in while I was there! I was totally floored, totally surprised, when I found out I had won—and what I had won! I sure appreciate the nice gift and also appreciate the great service Avfuel provides for all of its customers.”

Of this year’s promotion, Marci Ammerman, vice president of marketing for Avfuel, said, “Traffic at the convention this year was great. Our booth was full of valued customers and quality prospects. While the promotion helped draw them into the booth, many attendees—like Mr. Rutland—were interested in learning more about the Avfuel Network and the array of aviation solutions we provide. It’s always fun to catch up with friends, old and new.”
